While playing around with a party torch trying to capture the flame, I noticed I could capture the smoke too. After looking them over, I noticed what appeared to be the ghostly image of a Civil
War soldier in the smoke.

For those of you who didn't see the ghostly image, if you look about a quarter of the way down from the top in the center, there appears to be an eye. If you follow the image from there, you should see the face of a man.
The man appears to be wearing the uniform of a US Civil War Soldier.
I titled it Undying Hope because the "ghost" in the photo is still searching for something. That, to me, shows Hope.
I assume this is smoke - and the title implies you can smoke without increasing the chance of dying. I doubt that that hope is a reality. The image itself has some nice pattersn/lines but the tonal range is so slight it becomes un-interesting quickly.
